It's a different job, he still technically has both jobs his other job said they would hold his place for him for whenever he is in town to do it. And the new job requires him to be gone along but pays a lot more. Also come with really good benefits from what he has told me. Not allowed to go into it per his request so yah.
Well.... annoying to have him gone so long


But also sounds really good


You all want to move anyway... maybe if the new better paying job wants to be permanent... you could get a house where he is working

Coffee is ready y'all. Yesterday afternoon Ron, Robert and I packed the stock trailer with furniture. This morning we will pack the flatbed with outside stuff, then load 2 freezers and washer-dryer in the back of my truck and hitch the stock trailer to it. We'll hitch the flatbed to Roberts truck and we'll take it to Groveton. Unload, come back. We will go through Elkhart and stop at the Anderson County Livestock Exchange to eat. The cafe is open 7 days a week and is run by a chef. Really outstanding food.

I'm utterly exhausted, running on empty. Tomorrow my son is supposed to come get the 8'x16' portable building that I am taking. Robert, Ron and I may go down mid-week to block up the building and take a load to put in that building.

White and cold here. But the storm was kind at this end. Only about 3". Windy, cold. Otherwise good. Now I don't know what you guys North did to anger the storm monsters but, very intense up there. I'm sorry for you! Glad I didn't get more.

I'll need to get out there in a few. I hayed the barns last night, so they had full bellies in case we were bad. I'm good. 😁

Having coffee and feeling good about what could have been but wasn't.

I heard this report of 2000 trucks working roads in NY......as our locals were happily working with 20-25 in each city. 🤣. Hmmmm

Only about 3".
Lucky rascal, there was 3.5" at 11:30 last night. 7.5" at 6:30 this morning. Plow came through around 8. Still snowing.
I looked at NWS and read "rain and snow" next Friday......

Now I don't know what you guys North did to anger the storm monsters
I laughed really hard when I heard Norfolk got blasted last weekend. Was stationed there 82-85. Tease me for being a dumb eastern shoreman. "Are you sure you can find your way home" so I probably jinxed myself. Side splitting kind of laughing.

@Baymule -6 in Texas that is crazy. Spent a winter north of Chicago maybe 1/4 mile from Lake Michigan. Never do I ever want to be that cold again.

So glad that @Mini Horses didn't get a foot of snow... We only got 2-3 inches... but it got down to 15 and is only in the mid 20's right now. Hit 34 with the sun on the recorder for about a half hour and when the sun moved off it, the temp dropped about 12 degrees to 22 and now has crept up a little bit. BRRRR

Went to Groveton and unloaded 2 trailers and 2 trucks. Stopped in Elkhart to eat at The Stockman cafe. It was packed, we were starving, food was good. Home at 9, fed sheep and dogs. Tired, going to bed.

February is usually our coldest month. I'm really hoping that winter goes easy on us for February this year. I really don't want that heaped on me as well as everything I have going on.

I didn't even drop the trailer last night, got to do that this morning. Son will be on the way soon to pick up the small portable building and take to Groveton. House is getting empty, I'll be able to scuff up the floors in back bedroom and hallway and put a coat of polyurethane on it, shooting for Tuesday.

I can't believe it!! :th Earlier I watched Trip clear two fences to get OUT and run off. :rant:somad:he I just saw a white flash of his tail and it was Trip jumping back IN! WHAT???? He knows how to jump back in now? I'm on to his dirty little secret. He is jumping out, jumping back in, to appear all innocent like he's been here the whole time. Darn this smart dog anyway!
